Ma Tailoring

Excellent tailor at a very affordable price. I have had two dresses that were too large in the top and they took them in from the shoulders for £12 a dress. I also had a dress that I loved, but wanted it turned into a skirt, as I never wore it as just a dress. It was a very reasonable £20 to turn a dress into a skirt, especially considering it was a very tricky micopleated fabric. I would highly recommend May tailoring to anyone needing a good tailor. The customer service is good as well and they are quick and efficient. Only word of advice is bring cash, as they don’t take cards.

Believe the previous reviews — came here as I needed to get the sleeves shorted on a sport jacket. The alteration job was a bit more complex than just shortening the sleeves as the sport jacket has functional buttons. So, the tailor had to shorten the sleeves from the shoulder — quite a complex job, especially with the lining it had inside. Total price was £35 — more than I was expecting to pay but understand given the job.
The guys inside were very friendly and turned the alteration around in one day. There are quite a lot of tailors inside — they’ve even got a downstairs where they have many of the alterations from Suit Supply coming in there to be altered so lots of business.
I’ll definitely be coming here again for my alteration needs. FYI — CASH ONLY

I had a situation. A button had come off my jacket and I was walking around with a missing button and a black string very noticeably hanging off my grey coat and I was sort of looking like an idiot. And I did not like that.
I went into a dry cleaner a few shops over and asked if they could fix it. Nope, but the tailor three shops down certainly could.
And certainly could they did. I showed the the button and they took my coat, took out some thread and fixed it right there in less than two minutes. They didn’t even mind that I was with my dog and let her come in the store too.
Two minutes and one pound later and I had a button back on my coat. No longer an idiot (or at least, no longer looking like one), I went on my day. Thanks Ma Tailoring, you rock.

I bought this amazing dress in Texas and got it half price because of a rip in the zip lining. So what did I do, waited a year to get it fixed and a week precisely before one of my best friend’s wedding. Hello, Captain Organisation calling!
So I got it fixed or so I thought. Came home from one tailors and tried to zip it up. Huge massive disaster as the zipper stuck and then… I was stuck in the dress. Can you imagine, hilarity ensued. So I had to break the zip to get out.
Two days before the wedding! I did a quick Unilocal look up and found Ma Tailoring near my house. I passed about 3 other tailors on my way here but other 5 star reviewers made me believe this was the place to entrust one of my precious dresses.
I never thought she’d be able to fix it, the zip is a unique colour and she didn’t have one that matched. Honestly I wasn’t convinced, she was very quiet and didn’t say much to assure me but I left it there regardless. Came back yesterday and it was perfect. The zip totally matched, I don’t even know how! Again she didn’t say much, handed it back and I went on my happy way. Great results and she did it in a day which I totally appreciated.
I’ll be in next week with another dress that needs fixing.

I’ve come here for 2 pairs of jeans that needed hemming and a coat that needed a couple buttons sewed on (yeah, I know, NOT a domestic girl!) and they did all three jobs fabulously. Hemming jeans seems simple enough but I’ve gone places in L.A., my previous ‘hood, and had to give away jeans because they were hemmed too short. Even one inch too short can render a pair of jeans unwearable, which is annoying if you spent $$$ (British translation: £££) on a pair. Also, they had my jeans ready in two days. which rocks because I’m always taking stuff in last minute and wanting it for the weekend.

This is not your «we do dry cleaning and some random with a showing machine sits in the window» kind of place. This is a tailoring shop and that is all they do. Really nice, friendly, family-​run. 7 quid for a trouser hem – not bad at all.

Got myself a new fancy Calvin Klein suit on the cheap when I went back to the States (oh that weak currency they have over there!). Surprisingly, the jacket fit me perfectly and did not need any alterations. However, the trousers were clearly made for someone over 7 feet tall as there is no way they would work for me.
Knowing that Alp Tailoring was just down the street, I headed into have my trousers fitted. Honestly, it took me longer to change out of my jeans and into the suit trousers than it did for them to properly measure me and have me on my way. Within, two days, my trousers were ready and fit perfectly.
I will definitely be coming back to these guys, as I have a few suit jackets I need re-​tailored.
